Mill Watchman Dead
T. L. Caywood of Arnold Mills at Sterling Found With Skull Crushed
T. L. Caywood, watchman at the Arnold Milling company of Sterling, was found with his skull crushed on the third floor of the mill about 7 o'clock Sunday evening by the night watchman. Physicians are of the belief that the accident happened about 2 o'clock that afternoon and that he had been dead at least five hours.
It is supposed that Caywood fell to his death. Caywood's hat was on the fifth floor and his body on the third floor. He probably missed his step on the belt conveyor and fell the two flights. The crushed skull was the only mark on his body. Death is supposed to have been instantaneous.
Funeral plans await the arrival of a son, Bruce, from Hastings, Neb. Mr. Caywood has been a resident of Rice county for many years, living near Alden for over thirty years, then moving to Sterling several years ago.
He leaves a wife, three sons, Vernon of Sterling, Eldon of near Alden, Bruce of Hastings, Nebraska, and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Stout of near Alden, and also three brothers, W. F., C. C. of Alden and E. C. of Hutchinson, besides many other relatives.
